Economy 7 clock wrong

[JohnW2]

The argument comes up many times, not eating enough vegetables I am told, I point to potato chips, and am told they are not vegetables and don't count for my 5 a day, well they are no animals, or minerals, not even a fungus, they have cellular cell walls, so to me must be vegetable.

Of course potato chips are largely 'vegetable' and certainly not animal (nearly all are 'suitable for vegetarians', even when "meat flavoured" ) - but there are usually a few things which are neither animal- nor plant-derived thrown in for good measure (as 'additives')

"Your 5 a day" is not directly related to whether or not something is 'vegetable' (or fruit).

Yes there are often up to three (sometimes more "Definitions" of a lot of things 1/ Scientific, 2/ Legal and 3/ Everyday usage and a few more localised meanings too. Apparently in our County the Rail Crossing Signage had to be changed when I was a teenager fro "Wait Whist the Trains Pass" or something like that, some pointed out in one meaning could be interperted as wait until the trian approaches then cross in front of it and the other interpertation being wait ubtil the train has passed by the crossing then cross it" .
A bit silly but I was assured by someone who was supposed in the know that this change was made for clarity.

Oh Rotten Heck John, you spoilt my excuse for eating a bag of Tomato Flavoured Crisps as one of my 5 a day now !!! Bah Humbug and Drat!

Seems it scratched the engine, wrote off the car, and driver gave up driving, she said she thought the line was disused. The problem was had to wait for investigator, so even with no harm to train, had to find another methods to convey passengers. 5 MPH limit on crossing, so seems it was a bit like slow motion. Was before I got here, I note now, fireman gets off engine, stands in the road, and climbs back onto the engine as it passes him, seems was the same then, and car hit train, not train hit car, fireman very lucky it seems it did not hit the side he was getting on the engine. Think the sign is something like this

. But road hardly used, single track lane.
